(Same principal used to get tissue for pedicle grafting).
You’re right, I do disagree.
More time is better, thats pretty much a fact.
1-4 hours a day traction vs 8-12 hours a day, 8-12 hours would be better.
The rest time is when you are asleep, I never said you didnt need rest time.
From personal experience -
I get good gains wearing PE weights upto 15 hours a day, over a 2 week period, the times I only managed 3-4 hours a day, no gains.

I actually use a combination of methods; Penimaster, stretch&jelq and pump and think all have good and less good points.
Re time, starting at 6.25” (at age 49) and now pushing 8.75”, 3.5 yrs seems pretty good progress from what is reported on here; I`m pleased with it anyway and also with the Penimaster which I still strongly recommend.
Probably we all have our opinion of whats best and that’s why the sharing on here makes it such a good site.
Congrats on the 2.5” gain :up:
I never said I dont like the Penimaster, but there are better options. Heck, I HAVE a Penimaster, and yes its a solid product, but could be much better.
Opinions are good.:)
